5 LP-V, LP-WSERIES Accurate marking at high speed Panasonic Electric Works SUNX's proprietary galvanoscanner control technology keeps marking accurate and aligned, even at high speed. Previous models Low-speed marking High-speed marking LP-V, LP-W series Low-speed marking High-speed marking Improved marking resolution Panasonic Electric Works SUNX s proprietary servo technology delivers marking resolutions of 1 μm mil*, enabling more accurate marking -a key capability when generating super-small characters. LP-W052 Marking order optimization feature The LP-V and LP-W series automatically determine the most efficient marking order, further reducing tact time Not optimized Optimized Rank and Offset features Rank and Offset features let you change marking data as well as the marking position without changing file numbers. Depending on how it is employed, this capability can provide dramatic improvements in work efficiency, for example by replacing part of a character string quickly for each target object or changing marking locations for each target object. Rank feature File A B C D The rank feature is ideal for applications requiring that part of the character string be replaced quickly for each target object. Offset feature File The offset feature is ideal for applications requiring that the marking location be changed quickly for each target object. Serial data marking feature With previous models, data such as characters and 2D codes had to be sent from the control computer separately. Thanks to revamped software, the LP-V and LP-W series support batch transfers of data to the laser marker, simplifying complex code transfer procedures and preventing marking mistakes caused by data mix-ups. PC Previous models Transfer D Previous models Mark Mark D PC LP-V, LP-W series Transfer D LP-V LP-W Mark Mark D QR code and character data must be sent separately. Character data is sent automatically when QR code data is transferred. Step and Repeat feature Step and Repeat provides high-speed batch marking for printed circuit boards and plastic packaging such as trays and lead frames.

6 The uncompromising pursuit of high-quality marking that is fast, beautiful, and finely detailed. A complement of technologies drives high marking quality. The LP-V and LP-W series take advantage of a number of new technologies to deliver even higher definition marking. Every aspect of the product development process-from the superior beam produced by the FAYb system to control technologies designed to create more beautiful output-reflects a single-minded dedication to improving marking quality. The LP-V series is ideal for marking metals and coloring resins. The FAYb laser used in the LP-V series features a pulse that is significantly shorter than the pulse width used in conventional models. This configuration offers reduced thermal effects and is ideal for use in marking applications. Impressive capabilities for marking metals The FAYb laser used in the LP-V series features a high peak power of 20 kw, enabling it to generate sharp, deep marking and crisp, black output on metals that require high levels of power. [Peak power] 20 kw LP-V series Shorter pulse width means reduced thermal effects. Thanks to its high peak power, the LP-V series excels at marking metals and coloring resins. 8 kw Previous models 30 ns 300 ns [Pulse width] Beautiful resin coloring The LP-V series has it all, delivering high peak power in a short-pulse laser with low thermal effects to enable beautiful, print-like color marking on resins. Advantages for large target objects and multi-unit layouts Available 160 mm 160 mm 6.3 in 6.3 in wide-area models let the LP-V series accommodate wide marking areas. Support for batch marking of multi-unit layouts No set changes Fewer units required Support for marking of large target objects 06

7 LP-V, LP-WSERIES The LP-W052 generates super-small marking that is vivid and uniform, making it ideal for low-profile packages. It is critical that marking on low-profile electronic components such as chip-size packages has little effect on the target object. Laser output control and a high-speed galvanoscanner make it possible to keep the marking depth to just 10μm 0.39 mil or less. Technologies behind high-quality marking The LP-V and LP-W series take advantage of a number of new technologies to deliver high-definition marking. Intersection correction Advanced control functionality prevents excessively deep marking where lines in characters intersect, eliminating the tendency of overlapping lines to distort the shape of output characters in previous models. Previous models A LP-V, LP-W series A Depth control The LP-V and LP-W series automatically adjust marking strength at locations susceptible to deep marking such as the beginning and ends of lines and areas where straight and curved lines intersect. The result is beautiful output with uniform line depth. Coloring adjustment The LP-V and LP-W series control coloring by adjusting the laser power, scanning speed, and marking pulse cycle for each set line, giving products a broad range of expression. Lines overlap, distorting character shape. Uniform marking Optimized adjustment prevents excessively deep marking caused by overlapping lines, avoiding distortion of character shapes. Distortion due to excessively deep marking Uniform marking 07

8 Advantages of the innovative FAYb fiber system The FAYb system resolves the problems of conventional laser markers. The FAYb system provides long life and high efficiency in a compact package that is completely air-cooled. Equipment footprint, constraints on installation orientation, lamp replacement, adjustment of mirrors and other optical components, running costs, and other issues associated with conventional laser markers have all been addressed. LD: Laser diode Innovative fiber system (FAYb) Doping with the rare-earth element ytterbium, which has a beneficial effect on beam width, inside optical fiber allows the laser beam to be excited and amplified in an extremely efficient manner, yielding stable output. In addition, the use of a design where the excitation laser diodes are only activated during marking results in dramatically extended laser diode life. FAYb system principles and design Master oscillator (low-output pulse activation) Conventional principles and design Excitation laser diode (active during marking only) Laser output Beam is amplified as it passes through optical fiber that has been doped with ytterbium. Laser is amplified as it is reflected back and forth between two mirrors. Q switch Crystal is irradiated by laser beam. Crystal Purified water for cooling Laser output Cooling equipment LD (activated constantly at high output in order to cause absorption by crystal) Continuing evolution of the FAYb system The LP-V and LP-W series build on the strengths of previous models (the LP-F series) by delivering improved performance. Advantages of short-pulse lasers in coloring applications The LP-V series features a newly developed short-pulse laser for reduced thermal effects and more vivid color. Previous models LP-V series Improved laser output efficiency The laser beam is amplified in the unit's head. This design eliminates the power attenuation ordinarily experienced as the light travels over the transmission fiber, enabling more efficient laser output (LP-V series). Previous models LP-V series Controller Laser is amplified inside controller. Controller Laser is amplified inside the head. Energy efficiency Despite 20 % higher laser output than previous models, the LP-V series delivers a 10 % reduction in power consumption. Amplification Head Head Amplification Improved startup and shutdown Laser output now reaches the set level instantaneously, helping to keep marking crisp and sharp at the beginning and end of characters. Simulated laser startup characteristics Previous models LP-V, LP-W series Output Output Time Time Fast laser startup helps prevent streaking and other undesirable effects in characters. 08

9 LP-V, LP-WSERIES High efficiency with less energy Because it amplifies the laser inside ytterbium-doped fiber, the FAYb system delivers 50 % conversion efficiency, more than twice the level that is possible with conventional laser markers. An energy-efficient design keeps power consumption to approximately 1/3 the level of conventional laser markers. Comparison of conversion efficiency FAYb LD-YAG (water-cooled) Approx. 20 % Lamp type YAG Approx. 2 to 3 % Comparison of power consumption FAYb 0.39 kva (at 100 V AC) LD-YAG (water-cooled) Approx. 1.2 to 2.0 kva Approx. 50 % Conversion efficiency At least 200 % higher (Light-to-light conversion efficiency) Power consumption At least 1 3 lower Lamp type YAG Approx. 4.0 to 10.0 kva LP-V series Completely air-cooled By utilizing a heat-suppressing design with exceptional dissipation characteristics, Our company was able to develop a completely air-cooled oscillator. No consumables Long life No additional facilities No liquid coolant The FAYb system uses a well conceived design that pairs a low-output master oscillator with a laser diode that is only activated during marking, reducing the load on the diode and dramatically improving the conversion cycle compared to conventional designs that use high-output diodes that are always active. Our company uses laser diodes with the same high levels of reliability and durability as units used for optical communication applications. Space-saving design The system's head has a footprint smaller than a B5 sheet of paper, and the ability to be installed in any orientation ensures that no space will be wasted. Both LP-V and LP-W series systems are surprisingly compact since they do not require coolant pipes or additional cooling equipment. The result is reduced equipment and deployment costs. Compared to LD-YAG laser markers (water-cooled system) Approx. the 1 installation space by 3 volume Controller LD-YAG (water-cooled) Dust-proof design To compensate for its extreme susceptibility to even small pieces of dirt and dust, the galvanoscanner is protected by an effective dust-proof design. This feature guarantees marking consistency over the long term. Compared to LD-YAG laser markers (water-cooled system) Approx. 2 the space 3 by volume Approx. the 1 installation footprint 2 by area (Unit: mm in) (Unit: mm in) Dust-proof design Head Head LD-YAG (water-cooled) When installing an air-cooled system, be sure to leave sufficient ventilation space for cooling. No-alignment installation in any orientation Because their oscillation method does not require the use of optical mirrors, FAYb laser markers are not susceptible to optical axis misalignment caused by vibrations or other mechanical disturbances. When moved, the system does not need to be realigned by a specialist engineer. In addition, its completely air-cooled, space-saving design can be installed in any orientation as dictated by available space, target object characteristics, transport line type, and other factors. When installing laser markers facing one another, take care to prevent the light from each laser from entering the irradiation port of the unit facing it. 09
